Getting Bulb Enemas

I think many people started with this

Growing up all my enemas were Ivory soap Bulb enemas from my mother. I still enjoy the multiple insertions of a bulb enema although my preference is now J&J. My last enema last night was 3 quarts of very warm J&J with a bulb. Next favorite is a large colon tube with a boat fuel pump bulb. I love the pulsation of the fluid rather than it just flowing in from the bag. I also like the ability to pace the flow slowly taking a half hour or so to finish the enema. Not only is it more enjoyable to me but the extra holding time makes for a better cleanse.

So many enemas, so many memories.

As for bulb enemas I recall for several summers when I was young my mother employing two school girls. One was Betty. The other was Robinson. Must have been a last name as she was both Robinson, and Robbie. Not sure what age I was. Perhaps from 4 to 7? Betty and Robbie were older teens. At college.

For some reason it started when I needed an enema and mom asked the girls if they'd ever given an enema, they said no, and mom said something along the lines of, 'you know what an enema is though?' They said yes and mom said, 'have you had enemas yourselves?' and they both had and mom said that was good.

I find it interesting that there are some things about Betty, Robbie, and enemas I can't seem to call to mind yet remember bits of dialog from many decades ago I'm fairly sure of. Long story short, mom said she needed to give me an enema and the two girls could help and learn how to do it.

One thing I do remember I wasn't keen on it. I protested. Didn't do any good. Mom showed the girls how to mix the soap into the water in a white metal basin she kept under the sink, then out came the enema bulb, one of several mom had. I can't quite grasp the memory of what happened next but I do know I was on my back, legs held aloft by mom with her left hand while her right filled the bulb, inserted and squeezed. Then one of the girls gave me a squirt and then the other. Not sure how many but it was a small bulb so several repeats.

It was all very serious but I remember getting enemas from them many times when mom wasn't around and they'd giggle.

I also had suppositories from them too.

While they were with us in the summer they had their own room at the cottage. In the city they'd also show up to babysit sometimes. Perhaps just one of them but usually together. In the city, if it was in the evening I remember mom and dad going out and mom asking them to give me an enema at bedtime. Betty must have been a keen enema giver because if mom didn't say anything about a bedtime enema she'd ask, 'would you like Tommy to have a suppository or enema?' Mom might say no, she thought I didn't need one. Other times she'd say it was probably a good idea and thank Betty for asking.

It's been awhile since I thought of Betty and Robbie and those bulb enemas.

Definitely the bulb is my favorite. The one and only enema I got from my mom was at the age of 9. I had asked her to give me one. We rode to the corner drug store and bought a 4 oz bulb enema. I remember it vividly. It was light blue with a black tip. Never worked up the courage to ask for another. It is my go to enema today. 4 soapy 10 oz bulbs full followed by a 2 qt rinse.

Out of curiosity I purchased an enema bulb many years ago. To use on myself. I did not really enjoy it. I very much prefer a big bag full of very warm water.

Enemas from bulb fond memory and would love have mom giving now

All of the enemas I got from mom were with the red bulb and I remember liking them. My grandma gave me my first bag enema when I was 10. I remember the bag was still about half full when I told her I couldn't take any more, so maybe I took a quart. It was the biggest enema I had to date, but I still liked it. By then I was also giving myself enemas with the bulb, and mom caught me at it, so she stopped giving them to me but I continued giving them to myself. Even though over the years I have had several bags of various types, I still like to use the bulb from time to time. Some people say they don't like a bulb enema because the multiple insertions required, but sometimes isn't that part of the fun?

Absolutely, that was always how I got it and prefer it to this day
